Some other stuff is:
'struct gendisk' lost the dev member so you have to use the disk_to_dev
helper
'struct gendisk' lost the capacity member so you have to use the
{get,set}_capacity helpers
Also the disk_stat things are gone now, the corresponding patch is this one:
https://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kernel/2008/8/25/3067064
I don't know if other changes are needed as i didn't looked further...

I found some nice additions/fixes there but was a little bit shocked by
the date version 47 got released.
Will there be a merger of functionality and fixes added after version 47
into mainline in the near future?
Thanks,
